Salute to the General novel Chapter 396

James widened his eyes when he heard this and looked at Nathan in astonishment. "Nathan Cross, here I was thinking that you're begging me by treating me to a meal. Who knew that you even called for backup? Is this supposed to be an elaborate deception to hide your malicious intent?”

He continued with a snort, "Even if it is, you're not the King of the South and I'm not a spineless nobody! It is of no use even if you invited the mayor and the governor here. I've said that I will destroy Cross Group, so I'll definitely stay true to my words! As long as I am the vice-president of Channing's CDER, your vaccine will never pass inspection."

James had just finished speaking when an angry voice rang out, "If that's the case, then James Price, you're fired from your job right this instant!"

At this moment, James was shocked to see the mayor Russell Crow walking out from the VIP private room with an irritated look.

His face went white as a sheet as he squeaked, "M-Mayor..."

At that moment, someone else came out of the VIP private room with a darkened expression. It was the governor, Patrick Ward.

Patrick's voice was cold yet lofty, "Did you just say 'it is of no use even if you invited the mayor and the governor here'? If I hadn't heard that with my own ears, I wouldn't even know that a nobody like you dares throw your weight around like this!"

When James saw Russell, he was already trembling with fear.

Now that he saw Patrick as well, it was as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning, twice! His body shook violently before he fell to his knees with a loudthud. Raising his head, he gazed at Patrick with despair in his eyes. "G-Governor...”

Nathan looked at James, who was so terrified by Patrick and Russell's presence that he was groveling before them, and laughed lightly. "Mr. Price, what are you doing? Didn't you say that it is of no use even if I invited the mayor and the governor here? If you want to be a scoundrel, you should see things through to the bitter end! I'm truly disappointed in you if you act this way."

See things through to the bitter end?

See things through to the bitter end even with the presence of the mayor and the governor?

Is he kidding me?

James felt like crying now. He was just joking when he said that it was of no use even if the mayor and the governor were here.

Who knew that this rascal who was Nathan Cross had actually invited the mayor and the governor here?

At this moment, James was filled with regret that he wished he could die on the spot.
